Gavin Newsom is branded a hypocrite for calling DeSantis' Martha's Vineyard migrant flight 'morally reprehensible' - after he spearheaded program to bus homeless people out of San Francisco

California Governor Gavin Newsom has been accused of hypocrisy for harshly criticizing migrant transports from Texas and Florida, despite previously running his own initiative to bus homeless people away from San Francisco.

Newsom, a Democrat, engaged in a public war of words with Florida Governor Ron DeSantis after last week's high-profile flights carrying Venezuelan migrants to Martha's Vineyard.

In a letter to Attorney General Merrick Garland, Newsom demanded a criminal probe into Florida's airlift, calling it a 'morally reprehensible' and possibly illegal attempt to 'humiliate and dehumanize' the group of about 50 migrants.

DeSantis fired back at a press conference, saying Newsom's 'hair gel is interfering with his brain function'. Both governors are considered likely contenders for their respective parties' presidential nominations in the coming cycles.

Meanwhile, some of Newsom's critics have pointed out when he was mayor of San Francisco more than a decade ago, he spearheaded a program that offered free one-way Greyhound tickets.

The initiative, dubbed 'Homeward Bound', was described as Newsom's 'brainchild' in 2006 NPR report, which quoted him as praising the program for helping people 'turn their lives around.'

But he only bussed out California Americans, DeSantis did it to foreigners illegally in America.

Maybe that is the difference to the media.

The people who want illegals in the USA need to be the ones paying for them.

Hillsboro County Florida i.e. Tampa Bay, has been giving free bus tickets to the winter homeless to go to Lakeland, which is Polk County for years. Hillsborough County is fairly liberal and Polk County is not. Which is not really the issue because Hillsborough County only cares that Polk County has more free crash pads, ie the lighthouse Etc

Maybe this is old news to some of you but on John and Ken’s radio show they said during 2020 Newsom’s in-laws bailed out of California, moved to Florida, and registered to vote as Republicans.
